FAQs
What are the main advantages of installing a tankless water heater in my Spring City home?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, so they eliminate standby heat loss and can cut water-heating energy use by 24–40 percent. You also get virtually endless hot water, a compact wall-mounted design that frees up floor space, and a life span of 20 years or more—roughly double that of a storage tank. Because our plumbers are fully licensed and familiar with Spring City codes, your installation will meet all local efficiency and safety requirements.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
For most retrofit jobs we complete the entire process—removal of the old tank, mounting the new unit, rerouting water lines, and connecting gas or electrical service—in 4 to 8 hours. If venting has to be rerouted or a larger gas line/electrical circuit is required, the project can extend to a full day. We schedule installations so that you have hot water again before nightfall unless major utility upgrades are involved, in which case we let you know the timeline in advance.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service?
Possibly. High-output gas units often require a ¾-inch gas line and 120–199 k BTU input, while whole-house electric models can need a 240 V, 40–60 A circuit. During our free in-home evaluation we measure existing supply lines, check venting clearances, and perform a load calculation. If an upgrade is necessary, we coordinate the work with the gas utility or a licensed electrician so the job stays code-compliant and on schedule.
How much money can I expect to save on utilities with a tankless system?
Savings depend on household size, usage habits, and fuel costs, but ENERGY STAR® studies show an average family can save $80–$100 per year on natural gas and even more if they currently keep a tank on electric standby. Over a 20-year service life, that can translate to $1,600–$2,000 in lower energy bills, helping offset the higher upfront purchase price.
What ongoing maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and can your plumbers handle it?
Tankless heat exchangers should be descaled once a year—more often if Spring City’s water hardness exceeds 12 grains per gallon. The process involves flushing the unit with a vinegar or manufacturer-approved solution for about 45 minutes, cleaning the inlet screen, and checking the venting system. Our licensed technicians provide this service, document it for warranty compliance, and can enroll you in an annual maintenance plan so you never have to remember the schedule.
Are permits or rebates available for tankless installations in Spring City?
Yes. The borough/township requires a mechanical or plumbing permit and a final inspection for any water heater replacement; we handle the paperwork and include permit fees in your quote. PECO currently offers up to a $300 rebate on qualifying natural-gas tankless models, and a federal tax credit of 30 percent (up to $600) is available under the Inflation Reduction Act. We supply all rebate forms and proof of installation so you can claim every incentive.
